This had me laughing loud! Billi the negotiator!

"Mom, for heavens sake, if you had just started when I asked you to we could have already gotten it over !! My cats were always persistent/demanding, but they couldn't talk. This makes me realize just how much they had made up their minds and I was not going to win HAHAHAHAHA!

I've had non cuddly cats tolerate a cuddle when they've been asking for food (meowing and going back and forth to bowl). They definitely know how to bargain.

It can be very frustrating for the dear cat when the caretaker seems to show regression in caregiving; but with persistence, tenacity and fortitude, a cat can return the caregiver to that minimally acceptable (to the cat) level of care so fondly expected: perfection. Hang in there Billi, your patience and gracious diligence will pay off in the end.

Watching you cuddle Billi was therapeutic and I wasn't even cuddling her.

Watching this is so sweet. You say you have „ouch“ so Dr. Billi treats you with what she knows is good for you: Cuddling for comfort and she recommends „catnip“ to get over pain. Then she says: ok, let’s take this slow - when playing „fantoy“ she stays close, bounces less and is mostly lying there…. but still - playing fantoy: „see, human, we got this, I am with you.“

When a person is ‘ouch’ cuddling is soothing but playing a game like fan toy is not what you want, I get it but does Billi . I don’t think Billi likes cuddles that much but she thinks you do so you are right she was bargaining. Very strategic move there on her part

She brought like 4 seperate catnip mice and swatted and meowed at me to wake up and play fetch with her. She even gave me multiple throw attempts but dammit she wanted me to play fetch....
